Because they have sex offender tagged on them and are not excepted anywhere when they come out of prison.Housing is impossible and work also is not there so they go back to drugs and prostitution to support there habit and money to live.Prostitutes don't deserve to be in this group they hurt no one but their self.They get turned down even when they want to do better and go to a rehab to get rid of ther drug habit so they won't prostitute no one wants to take them because of the flyers they have to put out in the neighberhood.This is a crime that the law is doing and causing repeat offenders.

I'm not aware of anti-sodomy/indecency laws having been used to target straight White men not involved in the sex industry, although that doesn't mean it doesn't happen. --IP If it is the case that this is straightforward anti-sodomy/indecency law (much like others in the southern US, and elsewhere), then it’s not at all surprising that it’s disproportionately used against certain demographics groups.
